LONDON, Oct. 2.-Even the Tories are
obliged to admit that John Morley's
speech at Temple Comb Saturday even
ing was brilliant effort. The Tories
are in fact nearly as well pleased as the
Liberals over the manner in which Mr..
Morley handled Mr.. Chamberlain. The
Ri rmingham politician is we'll nigh an
Ishmaelite among statesmen at present.
He is paying the natural penalty of be-
ing all things by turn and nothing long.
Every mans hand is against him. The
passage is Mr.. Morley's speech which
receives most approval was that in
which he declared that policy of blind,
indiscriminate, laundering force must
fail, as it would not be permitted by the
juStice-loving people of England. There
were 20, 900 people present at the meet
ing and they displayed much enthusi-
aSm.
The peculiar situation along the
Franco-German frontier can hardly fail
10 give occasion for more episodes of
all irritating character like the Kauf-
mann and SchnaebeleS incidents, but
the sensible attitude of the two govern
ments in these cases makes it almost
certain that no such f1imSy preteXt will
be allowed to give rise to hostilities.
The general feeling in diplomatic cir
cles has been greatly improved by the
outcome of the recent frontier shooting
affair. The probability of war during
the regime of the present ministries is
thought to be reduced to the minimum.
The agitation among the miners has

miners. Heretofore they have been a
surprisingly conservative class, prob
ably because, though poorly paid, their
work is tolerably constant Whatever
may be true of other classes of laborers,
there is no doubt that the English miner
is better off than his American fellow.
The accounts of the condition of miners
now in Pennsylvania, reprinted here

free traders with a new argument of
more or less plausibility.

What Am I To Do.

The symptoms of biliousness are, I'M
happily, but too well known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent. A
bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids, but none for solids of
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time; if it is not white
and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out OF
order, and diarrhea or constipation may
be symptom, or the two may alternate
There are often hemorrhoids or even loss
of blood. There may be giddiness, and
often headache and acidity or flatulenct
and tenderness in the pit of the stomach

and thousands attest its efficacy.

An Opera Managers Ruse.

A French opera manager was in despair at
the prospect of having to produce "L'Afri-
caine" with white negroes in the ballet be-
cause the dancers refused to black their faces
for fear it would injure their compilations
He issued an order, however, that all the
young and pretty girls must color their faces,
because it would do them no harm, while the
old and plain ones would be allowed to APP
pear without black faces, because they had
more need to take care of their looks. The re-
suit was that every blessed one of the girls
tried to get on more black than any of the
others, and when the ballet was on the stage
half dozen extra calciums had to be used to
keep the audience from thinking the lights
had all gone out-New York Sun.
